Worcester Foregate Street in Worcester

If I could give no stars I would No lifts working at foregate st or Worcester parkway Totally unbelievable. If you were wheelchair dependent or had heavy suitcases you’d be screwed! They should be ashamed of themselves!

Excellent customer service and excellent staff wheelchair friendly and very helpful.

Baby. Pram. Lifts not working. No one around to help get said pram to the platform. Great. Thanks. Do I get the train or leave the pram??

Today 11.12 9.00am The young lady at the counter was very professional and helpful Thank you 😊

Bit smelly but ok for catching trains has the train information on screen so you can see if your train is delayed

Disgusting ladies toilet, needs new one 🤢

Great staff to help me exit and board my train with my wheelchair

It's just a small train station...

Thank you to the brilliant staff at Worcester Foregate Street. When I missed my connection and the next and last train was cancelled, Prab and Dylan made sure I got home. Very grateful for their help

One of the best stations in Worcester. The platforms are narrow and can get crowded so I recommend moving along to the uncovered sections if the weather permits.

It’s a beautiful train station, wheelchair accessible, and has 2 lift It’s a great train station which is always available and not too busy

Pleasant main street, mainly pedestrian zone. Shops and cafes and at the end the cathedral.

Nice station pretty clean, never seem to see anyone on the ticket booth though

Clean place. Friendly and helpful staff.

One of a busy station in Great Western railway line..

Lifts out of service often and toilets are dirty use the shrub hill ones Also full of chavs but otherwise it's alright

A terrible Experience, I missed my connection due to a very minor delay and ended up here, cold and tired along with many other fellow passengers. The station staff were completely un equipped to deal with such a minor incident and hid themselves in there office after asking me ‘not to tell them how to do their jobs’ when asked if they could call one of three managers who were not on duty to help with the situation. The station has a large amount of security staff, who were left to dispel us to make our own ways to our final destinations. West Midlands and GWR were also to blame and uncooperative with each other with regards to my comfort and expense.

Easy access to the main city centre. Good rail connections to the west midlands, east midlands, Birmingham and beyond, Hereford, change at Galton bridge for Shrewsbury, Wales line.

I mean it is a train station so not really sure what to say

Stop striking.... starting to get on people's nerves

A nice station with a convenient shop next door (literally). If anything it needs updating somewhat, a spruce-up. Friendly and helpful staff.

This was a fantastic station for both arrival and departure, maintaining its heritage from the olden days and adding an orange design! The station cafe is part of the heritage, lighting is provided all over and departure boards were kept up to date. Signs help navigate around, station sign is modernized for West Midlands and the toilets were very clean!

This station I visited recently is situated in the town of Worcester, I used it from London Paddington, Trains go to Great Malvern, Birmingham New Street and Hereford. It does have toliets but there was closed when I used the station. Stairs down from Platform 1 lead you right out into the town. There are waiting rooms on both platforms. Platforms are very long to cater for the 9 carriage GWR trains.. The ticket office is at the main entrance as you enter. And also in the main entrance are the travel information screens.There is also Worcester Shrub Hill Station that is located to the east, Not that far away.

Amazing the waiting rooms on Sunday 17th Dec 11.30a.m on platform 2 is all locked leaving us customers in biting cold waiting for the next train for 25 mins how sad! Management should consider the welfare of its clients

The café needs longer opening hours, and there is only one waiting room. Otherwise, very friendly ticket office staff.

Trains are often late. The elevator are not big enough for cycles so u have to lift then to get in.

If you have a large heavy bike I recommend not getting off the train or on here. The lift is quite small and i had to use the stairs almost falling down them with the bike. I eventually got it in the lift after 5 minutes but I couldn’t ride with it. Overall a nice station but lifts need an upgrade

Great station and you can get a trian to most destinations. Also has places where you can still buy your ticket if the ticket office is closed and you haven't got your ticket online

It's a very well kept clean train station. The staff are friendly. They have toilets on the main platforms not on the main entrance. There's a Tesco right next to the station where you could grab some snacks before you travel.

Easy access station, close to the town with regular trains.

I was rather disappointed by the lack of gates. I (and undoubtably thousands of other tourists) arrived here, in eager anticipation of viewing 4 gates. I left crestfallen after finding no gates whatsoever. Not even Gareth Gates, serenading weary travellers and delighting all who hear him. When i asked for a refund of my entrance fee, they refused because i hadn't been charged an entrance fee. I was aghast and flabbergasted at such a blatant deception, and felt for all the children, pestering their parents to come here expecting the chutzpah of 4 gates only to be greeted by a dark, empty, gateless chasm. I contacted Trading Standards and The Worcester Gate Description Society but neither have responded. I blame the EU. Bring back national service. I remember when it was tuppence farthing for a sixpence and I used to come here when it was all just fields and still have change from 3 shillings. UPDATE - IT would appear that those shameless charlatans at Worcester have duped me once again. Absolutely livid. I recently decided to give Worcester Railways a second chance and payed a visit to the city's other train station. There are NO shrubs on the hill at this station. The bare faced cheek of Worcester. Fleecing rail enthusiasts with their empty promises of gates and shrubs. There was a hill of sorts. More of a mound. If you go there, wrap up warm because the wind comes directly from the Arctic, following an unexplained delay at Reading. Similar to most railway stations in the UK, you'll find a cafe in here which is wonderful, delling tea cakes, fruit cake, crackers, tea, coffee and cress. You do need to get there early as the cafe is open from closes at 07. 00 and closes at 07.10 apart from Thursdays when they close at 07.05 There is a toilet here but if it isn't closed, it will contain a teenage couple, arguing. I think they must have got a new record player. Since they can't agree about whose turn it is to go first with the needle. To save you looking at the timetables, which went out of date before they put them up, use this helpful guide. Platform 1 - Hopelesness Calling at The Bleak Midwinter, Sorrow, Despair and Anguish Platform 2 - Doom Calling at Resentment, Self Loathing, Boredom, and Fear EDIT - I just got back from Oxford Circus. Its not even in Oxford! Not a clown or trapeze artist in sight. I've written to my MP and the Arch Bishop Of Canterbury Tales.

Functional. Occasional gang attack from ticket collectors at base of stairs.

As others have commented mind the stairs if you need access. Certainly some would need to allow a minute or so to get up the stairs, so beware last minute runs for the train. Architecturally it's good to examine, particularly from street level. Some intricate details all over the station. Avoid the toilets. Disgraceful and ill-maintained with even basics (soap, toilet roll). I'd say use Shrub Hill. Reasonable walk if unremarkable on the way but you get a different appreciation for what Worcester city centre has to offer. Foregate Street is very convenient, however.

Middle size, pleasant train station.

Fantastic shops, great place for a day out

Nice friendly cafe serving basic food and drink

Good location, but always full of chavs and drunks. The constant loud, obnoxious and patronising announcements from the tannoy do my head in, too: as a grown man, I don't need to be subjected to constant health and safety nonsense.

I used my family rail card to take my special needs son out for the day. £7.50 return from Hereford. My son really enjoyed his day out .Drinking tea and watching the trains and people go past. A good experience. A bad experience is the Coventry building society who used a forged mortgage to steal an OAPs home. It caused him to stop eating and taking his medication. He died a scared broken old man. Coventry building society does it really take 10 years to show him the unsigned mortgage he never signed?

Scruffy and tatty, toilets are tiny and were shut all day today, ticket office often unstaffed.

Interesting street with good access to shops and the train station

If visiting Worcester and you wish to get off in the centre of the city, choose Foregate Street rather than Shrub Hill which is further out. With the latter, its easy to get lost as the signage to centre isn't great. Foregate Street is high up so you will either have to navigate some substantial steps or take the lift.

Very basic too many steps lifts not always working

convenient location right in the city centre. stairs are a bit of a nightmare though

Literally the worst Station, trains are constantly being cancelled

Busy as expected, loads of people wearing masks 👍🏻 which is expected

Perfectly adequate station. If you want parking, go for Shrub Hill or Parkway. This location is right in the middle of town so very convenient. Can get busy but I suppose that is to be expected at a station in that location.

Love Worcester and Foregate Street has lovely shops and restaurants. Foregate Street Train Station is well placed, clean and good links to other parts of the West Midlands and more.... Thanks Worcester city for such great shopping centres and shops, beautiful city and fantastic pubs, restaurants, cafes and interesting small shops and businesses.

Clean station, friendly desk and platform staff. Plenty of signage and screens telling people where to go.

Never really designed for the current usage. Often minor delays combined with the track layout can cause knock on delays. Staff are always extremely helpful. Just got to remember they aren't responsible for the delays and cancellations. So please be nice to them. Always good ticket advice and years of knowledge. Could do with a lick of paint... no doubt will get a refurbishment in the coming years.

It functions as a train station, what do you expect me to write?

Sencilla estación con un encanto especial, ya que tiene un aire antiguo aunque bien conservado. Tiene solo dos andenes pero hay un gran número de trenes en todas las direcciones, en especial que enlazan con Birmingham. Sacamos billetes para Birmingham y Hereford, y el servicio fue bueno y amable en ambas ocasiones. Está muy bien situada en el centro de Worcester.

Friendly staff, live departure information is amazing, plenty of ticket facilities. Shops outisde the station perfect for lunch or quick snack before catching train. Frequent bus routes outside station. dodgy if you go to this station by train first thing in morning and before 10am on sunday

Great for Worcester City Centre and all tourist attractions and retail therapy Good signage for C19 restrictions

Customer service was disgusting on platform 1 Sunday 18/10/20

Not the cleanest station in the world but it is very useful and convenient if you want to visit Worcester city centre. The station has 2 platforms where you can get trains to Birmingham and London Paddington and other places. There is god step free accessibility provided by a lift on each platform for those who carry luggage or pushchairs or use wheelchairs. The high street is only a short 5 min walk away.

Good railway station near to the city, has lovely architecture but great accessibility with lifts etc. Regular train service, with many going direct to London Paddington, and other local routes.

Nice little station. Can get very busy but is fairly clean and even has a heated waiting room for those cold nights

Small, but very busy station. Has basic amenities, including a ticket machine and a little cafe. Good for changing trains when travelling a longer distance.

Usual sequence of intelligence-insulting "safety" messages except played ar deafening volume in the waitting room for platform 2.

Toilet facilities available and friendly staff on the platform.

I was in a rush today (02.02.2018) and left my bag on the train!! In a total panic. I asked the platform staff on duty (young lady with blonde hair. Didnt get her name sadly but working at around 9am on platform 1) for help. They were so great. She checked the CCTV cameras to see if i got off with my bag or if it was stolen and helped phone the conductors of other stations to find it. They searched the train at Kidderminster and thank the heavens they found it untouched with everything inside, including my laptop! I know everyone goes on about ticket prices, delays but thank god for wonderful hard working people like those at worcester foregate street. To all the staff and workers on west Midlands services. You are INCREDIBLE!!!!!

A unusual railway station, with two separate single lines giving the appearance of up and down lines. The station is still controlled by semaphore signals and steam trains pass through occasionally.

We all know this is the superior train station in Worcester.

Great station to film at for a couple of hours. Will sure to be back to do some filming here again

Great location for Worcester city centre. The train station provides refreshments for sale and welfare facilities (toilets)

Good train station and continently located with lots of frequent trains. There a goo little shop on platform 1 too.

Easy access and straight forward station. Near to places to eat if you have a layover just don't expect to be able to park here (try shrub hill for that)

Easy access and not too confusing

Overall good. Nice little cafe on platform on platform 1. Providing lots of little snacks and teas and coffees and lovely bacon sandwiches

No parking, only one payment machine

Not a bad station, easy access to the different platforms. Not much in way of snacks however there are food and tescos shops nearby
